وَلا أُقسِمُ بِالنَّفسِ اللَّوّامَةِ

And I do swear by the blaming soul.

أَيَحسَبُ الإِنسانُ أَلَّن نَجمَعَ عِظامَهُ

Does man think that We won’t assemble his bones?

بَلىٰ قادِرينَ عَلىٰ أَن نُسَوِّيَ بَنانَهُ

Indeed, We are able to reconstitute his fingertips.

بَل يُريدُ الإِنسانُ لِيَفجُرَ أَمامَهُ

Yet, man desires to persist in his sinful ways.

يَسأَلُ أَيّانَ يَومُ القِيامَةِ

He questions, “When is Resurrection Day?”

وَخَسَفَ القَمَرُ

And the moon is eclipsed.

وَجُمِعَ الشَّمسُ وَالقَمَرُ

And the sun and the moon are merged.

يَقولُ الإِنسانُ يَومَئِذٍ أَينَ المَفَرُّ

On that Day, man will ask, “Where is the escape?”

كَلّا لا وَزَرَ

No, there is no refuge.

إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ يَومَئِذٍ المُستَقَرُّ

To your Lord, on that Day, will be the settlement.
